Adds a visual settings manager for creating custom editor toolbar buttons with background and text colors, bold, italic, underline, live preview, and assignable keyboard shortcuts.
Customizes Anki's Again, Hard, Good, Easy, and Show Answer buttons with presets, separate light/dark palettes, and adjustable styles and colors.
Links Anki notes together via a custom link format, adding link panels, interactive graphs, and a global relationship graph.
Displays up to four note fields in clean, customizable boxes after the answer is revealed, with side-by-side or 2×2 layouts, image zoom, and a show/hide hotkey.
